what is the nicest thing anyone has ever said or done for you?

Question

please remind me how nice people can be!!

Answer 1

I remember when I was younger, my mother's work union went on strike and there was no income to pay the rent or to put food on the table for 10 weeks. She took in laundry and ironed and cleaned other people's homes. My brother and I were too young for jobs, so we collected bottles and cans off the streets for extra change to help out. After awhile bags of groceries and sometimes money were left at our door. These gifts just seemed to appear at those times when they were most needed. To this day, I don't know who helped us out. What they left behind for me was a wonderful lesson in the gifts of compassion. Thank you for asking the question - I needed to remember this.

Answer 2

Nicest thing anyone has ever done for me was me eldest daughter ( step-daughter but i don't like the term ) wrote me a poem inviting me into the family when i married her mum I've still got the original in my wallet it went :

He came into our family and turned it upside down
A man to love and care for us at last we now have found
Today was such a special day and all my love i send
For you my precious mum and dad i hope your love won't end
Now all it leaves me left to say is
I'll love you both to the very end
Congratulations to you both
Once again i love you so very much
Your daughter

I nearly cried when i read it
Nicest thing anyone has ever said to me is ' you are made for paradise ' the bloke who said it was know for being a genuine gentleman who was kind to everyone and never said a bad word for anyone so this is probably the highest complement that i have ever been paid . Most recent complement is being described as ' the nicest man in the motor industry ' by about four different people it makes the effort worthwhile

Answer 3

The nicest thing anyone has done for me would be this.. My brother Len he gave me $100 because I lost my cats in order to adopt a cat
which I will do as soon as I get over the Loss of
my cats! My brother didn't have to give me anything. I never asked him. Never even told him about the loss of my cats. My sisters told
him! I know he was making up for the mean things he did to me when he was a kid and didn't know better! I think the mean things he did were minor compared to what many others
done! In my opinion that $100 he gave me more that makes up for any wrongs he done to me!

Answer 4

I was going to say about girlfriends, but something much more simple...

I use to live with my sister when we we're at Uni in the same city but different places, this was after we'd been apart for a few years. We we're always very close. Now four years after that I am living in different county, I stopped down for a weekend.
Out on saturday night on the town, we were out with a large group of mutual friends. She pulled me aside wispered in my ear (well shouted -music) and said "You know... I really miss you".
I'm probably the only one she can really confide in and know to get a honest reply, and likewise vice versa. This one time that she has ever said anything really is all I will ever hear or need.

Answer 5

I was going through a tough time at home, lots of indecision. A lady i had met online just a couple of days before spent many hours listening to me, almost a stranger, and talking. Not chatting but a proper conversation...

She had nothing to gain but gave her time, which is simply the most precious resource any of us have, freely and selflessly. She listened, she advised and she helped me to get my mind straight. I know of no way to thank her, but mentioning her kindness on here may go some way towards this.

Flo, Thank you, the world would be a far better place if there were more like you in it.

Answer 6

I was waiting at the train station to go 100 miles back to college after a weekend at home, I'd left my ticket at home and I started to cry because I had no money to buy another ticket, and I had an important meeting that I just could not be late for.

A man came up to me and bought me a ticket, I asked for his address so I could repay him. He said it would be enough repayment if I would just do the same for someone else when the opportunity arises.

That was many years ago, I still remember him, and have repaid many times giving people the same message as he gave me.

Answer 7

I have been blessed and surrounded by great friends and family. However someone did something random that really made me feel good. I was sitting chatting with some friends after church and young guy walked up to me and told me I have a smile that can light up a room. This came totally out of left field, I thought it was so sweet and kind for someone to do this.

Answer 8

I know life can sometimes be bl**by hard, however, reading the answers to your question has been a really touching experience. Some come across as simply wonderful whilst others show the need a need for financial security and materialism. It made me realise how many times people have said kind things to me in the past and how valuable their comments are to us all...
'Be pleasant to everyone you meet, a simple comment can change a life'

Thank you.....

If you're going through a hard time, it will pass. I promise

Answer 9

When I joined the British Army, I had a rather characteristic Bombadier (what the Royal Artillery call thier Corporals) as my Section Commander training me during basic. All week, he would swear, shout and scream at me for every tiny little thing I did wrong, running or drilling me and my Troop until I was soaked in sweat and ready to pass out. More then once I saw him reduce grown men to tears. And then once a week everyone in the troop would have individual progress interviews with whichever Bombadier happened to be responsible for them. Every week I would wait outside his office, shaking with nerves, convinced I was going to be in trouble, and every week he would call me in, let me sit down and relax, and tell me in a quiet and sincere voice how much he admired my determination to succeed and how much he believed in me. His secret kind words helped propel me through the hardest yet most enjoyable and rewarding time of my life.

Answer 10

My late father is the one that said the nicest thing to me, it was, "if everyone in the world was as nice as you, this world would be a beautiful place".

It brings tears to my eyes repeating those words
